Book your trip

For ease and convenience, you can book your entire Circle Pacific trip with a single oneworld member airline, regardless of how many oneworld flights you take.

Terms and conditions

If an aircraft serving part of your itinerary does not have a first or business cabin, customers will be booked into a lower-class cabin. On American Airlines services within/between the U.S. and Canada, where no business class is offered, business-class passengers may book and travel in first class subject to availability. Mileage and tier points can only be accrued from eligible fares in the cabin flown.

Jetstar flights can also be included when booked as a Qantas flight number. Itineraries with Jetstar (JQ) segments can only be ticketed by oneworld carriers that have interline agreements with the airline - American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qatar Airways, Qantas and Royal Jordanian. Plans are being developed to extend the arrangement to itineraries being ticketed by other oneworld member airlines. Members of oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes can earn mileage rewards on eligible Qantas-coded Jetstar flights using these fares once their frequent flyer programme host airline has implemented interline links with Jetstar. Currently, this applies to American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qatar Airways, Qantas and Royal Jordanian. Please contact your frequent flyer programme for more details.

Travel originating in or including South America is only permitted on the 29,000-mile fare. Travel must be via the North/Central Pacific in one direction and via Chile to or from the South West Pacific on Qantas or LAN in the other direction.

Travel between two airports by surface transportation counts as one flight segment. A maximum of 16 flight and surface segments will be permitted for the entire journey. Intermediate surface sectors between two airports are permitted at passenger's expense. Surface sectors must be included in the total mileage.

Only one stopover permitted at any point.

Two stopovers required outside country of origin.

A maximum of one stopover in country of origin.

A maximum of two free stopovers per region (South West Pacific / Asia / North America / South America).

Where a passenger disembarks at one point and re-embarks at a subsequent point en route, the points count as a single stopover.

Exception: When an Economy class booking has been made more than 22 days prior to departure, tickets must be issued at least 21 days before departure.

For changes or cancellations prior to the commencement of your journey, please contact the member airline that issued your e-ticket. If you need to make changes to your itinerary during your journey, please contact the member airline you are flying with on your next segment. Changes to your first international flight are not permitted less than seven days prior to the date of the first ticketed flight. Please note that change fees and/or service fees may apply to any itinerary change or cancellation.
